OT: "Man Food"

[flere-imsaho]

My neighbor down the street is having a guys-only kegger & bonfire on Friday night. Apparently he does this every year, but we've only been here a year. Anyway, he said to bring something to munch on, which is how we get to this topic.

What, to you, is the quintessential "man food"? Off the top of my head, I'm going to say beef jerky. :)

I was going to say chips and salsa or chili, in addition to wings of course.

flere,

Send me an email... I have a 77-page Word Doc with "Tailgate Food" recipes which is a synonym for "Man Food" in the midwest....

Regards.

It definitely has to be something that used to moo, oink, or cluck.

Slow roast some pork bbq, buy a good stock bbq sauce(or make your own), and spice it up all good. And then buy some big "Man Sized" buns.

One word...three birds:

TURDUCKIN

[AlexB]

Doner kebab and chili sauce
Plain, unmarinated steak, sausages and burgers on the barbecue

Take a huge tossed salad with waterchestnuts. It is going to be a gay orgy, right? :D

Do you want to be known, henceforth, as "the tossed salad man"?

[MizzouRah]

Wings - but instead of the traditional hot, try teriyaki or lemon pepper.
Brats - grilled and then slow cook them in a pot of beer, onions, and peppers.
Taco Dip - glass dish with cream cheese, one package of taco seasoning, then refired beans, cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbly and top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, and black olives.

BIG OLE POT OF CHILI!!!!

Okay, you got some things right here... but I don't think there's really any room in a "Man Food' conversation for the following terms:

lemon pepper
glass dish
cream cheese
bubbly
shredded lettuce
olives

Many of these things are perfectly fine foods, but "Man Food" is about killing something and exposing it to flame. None of the above entries need apply.

[Bee]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Quiche

[rkmsuf]

I'm not entirely comfortable with the term "Man Food".

Manly Food seems more appropriate.

[Schmidty]

Boob Cookies.

[albionmoonlight]

Burgers--but with spicy pork sausage instead of beef.

I did a spin of "MAN FOOD". I understand the broad definition, but hey it's 2005. Man Food is boring, you need to spice it up a bit.

Man food, not Metrosexual man food.

A side of beef.

Do you serve your "man food" with doilies ;)

Food is not needed, only beer.

[CHEMICAL SOLDIER]

What kind of man eats a meat only diet? I would personally bring fruit salad, Healthy chice gourmet cuisine and some White zinfendel. ;)

[colt45]

and your panties

[MizzouRah]

Ok, I give up.

Bring a live pig, kill it and then cook it.

[QuikSand]

Thanks.

Bingo. MizzoRah's suggestions are all fine and good, but for an occasion that is specifically termed to be about "Man Food", throw all that extra flourish out and go with the standby as you have so succinctly described it.

[sterlingice]

This thread makes me think of the Home Improvement episode with the Man's Kitchen. It was beautiful- had its own butcher, beans and potatoes for veggies, and self-cleaning.

Food is not needed, only beer.

If you drink Guiness, you get both...

[Anthony]

when in doubt, buy beer. that's what i always bring.

wings are a good standby. tortilla chips and salsa are a safe bet too.

[Yellow5]

Short Ribs!

Let 'em soak in some asian sweet n sour chili sauce and soy sauce overnight and then grill 'em! Messy to eat but damn good hot off the bbq.

[gkb]

Wings
Chips and Salsa
Lay's Chips (none of the baked, low fat, or low sodium variations please)
Burgers with cheese and bacon
Hot dogs or brats

The only way that you will know for sure that you brought something that did not displease the guy food gods is that a giant can of beer does not fall from the sky and crush you.

Dola-

Alright... What brew do you pour down your throat?

Two words: Shiner. Bock.

[JeeberD]

I'm guessing you're in Michigan, so no, you wouldn't have had it up there. It's a Texas beer that's spread across the south on to the east coast now. Good stuff...

I'll take on of those Coronas in a pinch, though. :)
